open google maps through intent for specific location in android
android, android-intent, google-maps, google-maps-urls
Solution
I have not tested this but you could try :
First method:
String uri = String.format(Locale.ENGLISH, "geo:%f,%f", latitude, longitude);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(uri));
context.startActivity(intent);
EDIT: This might not work with Google maps 7,0
hence you could change the uri to :
Second option:
String geoUri = "http://maps.google.com/maps?q=loc:" + lat + "," + lng + " (" + mTitle + ")";
where `mTitle` is the name of the location.
Third option:
geo:0,0?q=my+street+address
Fourth option:
String map = "http://maps.google.co.in/maps?q=" + yourAddress;
Hope that works and helps :D..
Problem
I'm designing one application in which I want to show specific location on Map. I'm passing `String` of address which is already placed on `Google Map`. Following is my `Intent` code.. ``` String url = "http://maps.google.com/maps?daddr="+address; Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url)); startActivity(intent); ``` But it gives me Google Map for getting direction. I know why that so, because I used `daddr` in `url` but I don't know what to use for specific location..Please tell me what to use there..
